Move-In Green is one of the first opportunities for new students to learn about Penn Sustainability’s work and about how to recycle on campus. Student volunteers receive free early move-in privileges for spreading awareness of campus sustainability initiatives providing recycling support during new student move-in.

Volunteer duties include staffing outreach tables at Houston Hall, the Quad, and Lauder College House / Hill College House; talking with students about sustainability opportunities on campus; educating students about how to recycle and recycling locations; and assisting with hands-on recycling support in College Houses. This is the perfect opportunity to work with staff and other students interested in sustainability.

Volunteering is open to undergraduate, second- through fourth-year students. Interested volunteers are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
